Fabric > By Designer > Polly Minnick & Laurie Simpson Polly and Laurie are sisters that share of the love all things textile.
Laurie is known for the quilts she creates and Polly hooks a rug to match. They have shared and taught their unique folk art style and aesthetic in the United States and in France – occasionally teaching together. Their fabrics have been rendered in quilting-weight cottons, classic twills and plaids and pure over-dyed wools. They combined all these loves into fabrics that include 100% cotton prints, Classic twills and 100% over-dyed wools.
